I am more analytical and process based coming from a stem background and that’s okay!

I became an agent so I can help detail-oriented people like me get into the weeds of the analytics and strategy, without feeling judgment. 

You have logically and analytically broken down the flipping process into common sense.

For Air BNB i would look into one of the data analytics companies like AIR DNA for example.

I spent some time looking into the renters analytics but havent spent too much energy looking into shore properties just yet.

furnishedfinder.com provides some nice analytics for each market. 

I mean,  those nice people.The way you do it is just going to Zillow, look at the properties recently sold (that yellow ball) make sure the properties are as close in location and characteristics as your subject property and you just pick 3 to 7 similar properties and you take the average of the numbers, or you calculate the cost/square foot which ever fits the situation better and you get that number.NOW... this "solid" analytical method, I did when I was more of a beginner.

Does anyone have recommendations on how to do market research without analytics software to feel more confident in a certain area/market?

Other data people… but unless you plan to only invest / work with data people, you need to learn how to distill complex analytical findings into plain English.Data storytelling tip: Use simple charts and graphs.

Lack if intelligence, analytical skills and common sense.
